I mean when u lock the car the mirros will autofold. And everytime you get out a parking spot u have to unfold manually or drive till the speed reach 5km/h for it to unfold.

Thats why im wondering if the mirror can be set to unfold when we start the car.

Aiseh. Some rattling/creaking sound come out when i accelerate and go over uneven surface.

Do you guys think the normal proton service centre can rectify? Or do i have to go COSE?

And another, if i go COSE, better to make appointment or walk in very early in the morning?

the sound comes from where? Behind?

At the dashboard, near the ac vent. I removed the things from the bottom compartment just to be sure, and it is originating from the dashboard.

Usually during accelerating, and going over uneven bumps.

Normal service centre can solve? Im staying in subang, so planning to go to the one in ss 14 there.

So thats why i asked if can walk in to cose early in the morning? Or still need appoinment?

Oh dem.

Well ill try my luck to book tomorrow. The sound is really annoying.

Anyways, my list of complints would be;

1) mounting not tight, so engine vibrates more.

2) jerking like manual car when slowing down.

3) sluggigh gear, esp during revesing.

4) wind noise at the c pillar.

was it very obvious? those rattling and creaking noise?
car will vibrate, soft vibration will still generate noise.

for e.g.: i put pen and usb cable at the center console, it causes noise due to soft vibration.
so i put a small piece of microfibre cloth beneath the cable and pen, no more noise, for now.

Very. Even my gf hears it and ask what sound is that. Its definitely coming from inside the dashboard.

Oh, and i do have the panel pop up when winding up window.

try this temp workaround . fold a small piece of paper over a few times, bend the folded paper into L shape, then insert it into the gap between the meter clear plastic cover and the black plastic. you might need to slide it across the gap when accelerating to determine where the paper will cushion the rattling. mine seems to 'work' when the paper is at the right side, below the speedometer.

as mentioned, this is just a temp workaround. i don't wish to take leave to visit the SC just for something like this. BTW, it might look less obvious if dark color paper is used.

Hey man, thanks for the tip. Ill try it tomorrow.

Hi, i have the same problem of jerking. That is extremely uncomfortable and annoying. Any idea it needs how long to run in the cvt? Mind is around 3200++ milleage now.
It is just jerk less instead of "missing"?

Mind is abang adik with ur car. Same problem. In fact, i have sent my car to cose twice but the problems are still there. Pls share with us when u found any SE or anyone or way to overcome the problem.

I have a papago gps, and my iphone and ipad also fitted with papago.

it wont happen.. at least for now or next few months.. what i am trying now is trying to convert garmin map to tomtom format or try to find a method to force tomtom map update.

forget about putting papago in the original CFE HU gps.

Because Bosch Hu runs on linux and papago/garmin runs on WinCE?
